DEAR DAD

Dear Dad, Thank you for reminding me tonight. You're absolutely right, it has been quite a while since I last posted something on my blog. It's not that I had forgotten, I just have way too much on my plate at the moment and I've neglected it. I love the fact that you still look at my blog even though we live in the same house, and I love the feedback you give me on what I've written or posted. To be honest, I think the conversations we have are far more interesting and expansive than what little insight I give here, but I thoroughly enjoy your interest all the same. Let me show you what I put up in the group tutorial that I was so down about on the weekend: 26 REJECTED SELF-PORTRAITS Here's some of the scrunched up ones. And here's some of the originals, post destruction/improvement. Thanks for the memo, Dad. Hope you enjoyed the update! Love Sarah xox

THE BREAKFAST CLUB.

Perhaps on a lighter note...

Every Friday morning at 6:50am my brother and I jump on a train to go to the chiropractor with Father Bear before heading to the Galleon cafe in StKilda for breakfast. While I'm waiting for my scrambled tofu and enoki mushrooms, I have just enough time to scribble a blind contour drawing of the other two members of our breakfast party, often with a conversation fragment or two thrown in for good measure.

To anyone who hasn't ever seen brother Tom and father Glynn, this is EXACTLY what they look like. Don't be fooled by the floating lines, open shapes and overall grotesque appearance - I'm giving Da Vinci a run for his money.
I swear.

POST-IT.

I was looking through past post-its.

Post hourly comic project phase two.

This is a selection from the start of the year. Many of them weren't completely finished. I picked a few of the better ones to post up here.

Yeah, I'm posting on this post. I.T. style.




Posted.

ASSORTED OTHERS.

There's an array of photos dating all the way back from February to just recently that I've wanted to put up, but don't really fit anywhere or deserve their own post. So here's a collection of odds and ends. Bits and pieces. Assorted others.

From the studios...







From home...




(I was overdosing on fun that night.)







And from the homes of others...

MORE IMAGES

Still sifting through the backlog of photos and posts I've been neglecting these past few months.
More to come.

These are from the last of my disposable cameras I got developed a little while ago.


(Esteban is in this one twice. See?)







Man we've got some photogenic dogs.

YOUR CONCEPTUAL MOUNTAIN IS A UNICORN AND I'M RIDING IT ALL THE WAY TO EXPRESSIVE FREEDOM

It's been a while.

Here's my best excuse:


Installation view for assessment

I SINK, THEREFORE I AM



He's just missed his opportunity and now he's asleep again.











Is that what came up when you searched 'God'?






Studio space set up for assessment.

GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE

And we watched the sunrise over the Silverton sculpture park.









"Dad, what are you doing?"
"I'm imposing life on this sculpture. It's live sculpture!"
"...Alright."

MUNDI MUNDI PLAINS

Ok, I know it's going to be a bit distressing for some of my followers, but the posts are yet again out of order.

The day we reached Broken Hill, (yes, you'll have to transport yourself back a week or so ago to road trippin' times) Father Bear and I made a point of driving just a little further to the Mundi Mundi Plains (you might recognise this area from Mad Max, or Australian artist, Shaun Gladwell's Maddest Maximus series, or a number of other films and advertisements) to watch the sunset.

Unfortunately, we were not the only ones at the lookout, however they proved to be interesting photography subjects. I was trying to be subtle, but I think they might have noticed I was focusing on them with my compensation stalker lens. Not to worry.

This is my favourite photo I've taken in a long time. Think I'll paint it.

Aero-shark (much like the infamous aqua-sloth).
